There are 68 Children in the custody
of Centre County, living with either
foster families or in residential
facilities, often due to circumstances
involving abuse or neglect
There are 62 foster families. Eight of
those are willing to take teenage
children.
Of the 68 children in custody, 50 are
under age 13, 18 are over age 13.
Of the children, 13 aren’t able to
reside here because there are not
enough homes for them here.
Over a 3 year period, there were 44
children who “aged out” of the
system, without a forever family.
